Answer:

Cylinder. The explanation is not very exact, more intuition and whatnot, so let me know if there was anything you did not understand.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is assuming the rectangle has its sides parallel with the x and y axes.

Let's try to eliminate them one by one. A cone does not seem likely since it has slanted sides, and spinning the two straight sides will keep the sides straight. This can be used for the pyramid as well. Let me know if this doesn't make sense though.

Now for me I would imagine that rectangle being a sheet of paper, or metal. if you set that sheet atop some dirt or something and then rotated it, what shape would be drawn into the material? It would be a circle. So we know the 3d shapewill have a base of a circle, which leaves us with a cylinder. Again, let me know if this method did not make sense.

Answer:

The null and alternative hypotheses are:

$H_{0}:\mu= 50.07$

$H_{a}:\mu>50.07$

Under the null hypothesis, the test statistic is:

$t=\frac{\bar{x}-\mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Where:

$\bar{x} = 52.86$ is the sample mean

$s=7.0132$ is the sample standard deviation

$n=10$ is the sample size

$\therefore t=\frac{52.86-50.07}{\frac{7.0132}{\sqrt{10}} }$

$=1.26$

Now, the right tailed t critical value at 0.05 significance level for df = n-1 = 10-1 = 9 is:

$t_{critical}=1.833$

Since the t statistic is less than the t critical value at 0.05 significance level, therefore,we fail to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the average phone bill has increased.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Well u would do 64 divided by 4, because there are 4 times as many new bikes as used ones.
the answer is 16 used bikes
